Oct 27, 2017Neither their best album (step forward Some Fantastic Place) nor anywhere near as bad as some of these reviews. The band have aged gracefully and apart from one turkey (A&E) there is some great music up there with their impressive canon of work - Innocence in Paradise, Departure Lounge... Suggest some reviewers need to give it another listen

Dec 16, 2017While far from their best work, this is a nice record, if a bit overproduced in places. There are some great songs, but it seems Glenn's guitar is too far in the background, and the keyboards are too overwhelming at times. Still, his voice is as great as ever, and the complexity of the tunes is great. It's a bit more soulful than most of their records, too, which will appeal to many.

Oct 20, 2017In the face of this conflict, the only other option is to face up to the now, with all the problems and issues that go with it, and the album is at its best when it does just that.

Oct 19, 2017This warm, soulful undercurrent, along with the wry sense of humor, elevates The Knowledge, turning it into a masterly latter-day work.
